Democrats Are Losing Young People

[RJ-MacReady]

29. We can't

Not without lying to ourselves. The party brand is perceived as out of touch with main street America on everyday issues and hyper focused on "identity politics" while also chastising white people. Obvously I do not believe any of that but unfortunately many others do. As pointed out in other threads the Democrats must modernize, it is no longer the 80's 90's or even 00's. We are still predominately going on network media and cable news. The party still uses "political speak" and after the past couple elections its obvious that no longer satisfies the voters. The problem isn't the party's platform or policies its their obsolete campaigning and message that is causing the damage and allowing the far right to swoop right in with their lies and manipulations. To a struggling 20 something that sounds enticing. The biggest problem is the party isn't able to connect with voters the way we used to. Because of that Democrats have the perception of being out of touch elitists.
